Abstract:
Parenting books offer a variety of information and advice for parents on subjects they frequently encounter; however, the recommendations of books are dependent on the author and different books offer conflicting advice on the same subjects. In addition, some of the information presented is not concordant with current American Academy of Pediatrics policy statements and recent medical literature. It is important for pediatricians to be aware of the information parents are obtaining from different sources so that they can address areas where erroneous advice is potentially being given. Pediatricians will then be able to discuss discrepancies with parents and give them recommendations based on current research and recommendations.

Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
